Carpenter ants don't eat wood the way termites do — they hollow it out to nest, which is exactly why so many Pennsylvania homeowners confuse the two. Here's how to tell the difference, and what treatment actually looks like.
Large black (sometimes red-and-black) ants, up to half an inch long, usually seen at dusk near windowsills, decks, or bathroom trim.
Moisture-damaged wood first — porch ledges, deck posts, leaky window frames — then satellite colonies can spread into dry interior framing.
Carpenter ants leave smooth, clean-edged galleries with no mud tubes. Termites leave mud tubes and layered, dirt-packed damage.
We trace foraging trails back to the source rather than just spraying visible ants.
Slow-acting bait gets carried back to the queen, collapsing the colony instead of scattering it.
We flag the moisture source (leaky sill, damaged deck wood) so it doesn't just come back next season.
